Is Irony a Sacrament?

A Vatican committee has come out with a controversial ethics guide intended to set rules for reproductive sciences. It condemns such things as stem cell research and the practice of discarding unused eggs after fertility treatments.

The irony of having a bunch of old men who have never had sex create such a document is apparently lost on the authors.

Anyway, Church officials also go on to list as unethical other such things as the artificial insemination of eggs, cloning research, gene therapy, and the genetic testing of embryos. They also condemn the use of "morning after" pills.

No word on whether these same Church officials plan to come out with an ethics guide to control the behavior of priests around altar boys.
